A flick of the key got that one going again,you could do it on the move.

    But on my Series II Oxford the pump was in the boot,so I kept a piece of 4x2 there and when it stopped someone would get out,open the boot and smack the pump with the 4x2,always a bit of humour at the lights.One day my wife rang and said the car had stopped....jeeez!....''well just smack the pump!'' - 'I've done that,but I broke it and the plastic bit on the end has fallen off!'' Bloody SU pumps,they just weren't built to take the tough life.
    lol no I wasnt that brutal! It is a jappa. I used a hammer and small punch Ive replaced the brushes before but I would have thought that they would last more than 100,000kms

    Impressive toolbox! Amazing how well it took that RF900 to bits.

    But what was actually required was an optometrist, rather than a mechanic...
